The Times reports today:
Labour MP Marie Louise Coleiro Preca yesterday accused the government of taking Malta back to feudal times on the issue of precarious work, with people serving the government instead of the government serving the people.
Honestly, Marie Louise. Allahares nibdew nghidu what sort of a job market there was when Labour was in government and you were secretary-general of the Labour Party.

What’s she on about, anyway? I thought their lot WANT to serve government, as in scrounge a chopp mal-gvern.

Not related to this article, however would like to mention two points or rather questions on JPOS.
1. In his druken rant against Antoine Vella, he confirmed the incident of the gate, but he did not deny your serious accusation about what caused you to crash into it. Is he therefore confirming it?
2. In his latest crusade against Richard Cachia Caruana he alleges that the latter betrayed the Nationalist Party. If what he says is true, was he not duty bound to inform the party about this immediately, and not after the party finally decided to take action agaisnt those who do not toe the party line?
Beware people, tinsewx li issa hemm her mini version: the Qormi mayor.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Let us remember: Pioneer Corps, Id-Dejma, Bahhar u Sewwi, minimum wage, military discipline, no right to join unions and no right to strike.
Ah, those were the days.
I can include WAGE FREEZE to your wonderful list of LEJBER policies for the memories we are requested to forget because according to PL we are supposed to think only about their future and not their past.
Yes, I suppose people who suffer from amnesia are in a constant state of denial.
Over the past few months, the use of certain vocabulary dating back to the dark ages has become rife among politicians, writers and the general public alike. I wonder if the religious icon will eventually make a comeback.
Whilst the rest of Europe talks political progress through solidarity, here’s Marie Louise trying to divide us with her mintoffian dark age classist ideologies. Last week we had racism and now this. Very progressive, very liberal, very moderate indeed.

The labour Party has long had strong overtones of extreme socialism.
So it’s no wonder that Marie Louise Coleiro speaks in terms of lower classes and the capitalists.
She needn’t go far. When she is in parliament she should ask one or two capitalists from her side of the fence.

A little rich coming from a veteran of the party which invented ‘precarious work’ at precarious wages when it employed thousands in Dejmas and other corps just to artificially lower unemployment figures at eves of elections.
Anyone who, like Coleiro, was a ‘collaborator’ in the ’70s and ’80s has only one right.
That is to keep his/her trap shut on serious matters affecting Malta and Gozo.
Simple.
Any other form of behaviour is, by definition, obnoxious.
